RIO DE JANEIRO

Retired military policeman Fabrício Queiroz, a former aide to Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (Republicanos-RJ), said on Thursday (2) that he had not received information about an alleged leak of a report from Operation Furna da Jaguar.

He was also unable to say whether Flávio was informed about this document from Coaf (federal agency) before exonerating him from the position of advisor in the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro, in October 2018.

Queiroz gave his second statement regarding the leak of the report that comprised the investigation of Operation Furna da Onça, launched by the Federal Police in November 2018.

The investigation was opened after Paulo Marinho, businessman and substitute for Flávio Bolsonaro, told Folha that the current senator told him that he had dismissed Queiroz due to his unusual movements identified by Coaf.

1. Bolsonaro's son summoned to give evidence in corruption case

Brasilia, Jul 3 (Prensa Latina) The Public Prosecution´s Office of Rio de Janeiro summoned Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro, son of President Jair Bolsonaro, and his wife, Fernanda, to give evidence next week as part of an investigation for diversion of public fund.

According to the G1 news portal, Fernanda will testify on July 6 and her husband next day.

Such call was made by the Specialized Action Group to Combat Corruption (GAECC), which was in charge of the investigation from March 2019 until the decision of the third criminal court of the Rio de Janeiro Court.

At that level, the head of the investigation is the prosecutor Eduardo Gussem, who formalized a term of cooperation with GAECC and allowed the group to continue investigating, an action criticized by Flavio Bolsonaro´s defense.

On June 29, the Rio de Janeiro Prosecutor's Office appealed to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) to try to reverse the ruling that gave Flavio Bolsonaro privileged jurisdiction in the trial of the case involving him and his former adviser Fabricio Queiroz.
